Funny you should mention that. I actually used Pligg a month or so back to build a "social brainstorming" site (at www.60ideas.com). Pligg is actually a port of Spanish open source software called Meneame (www.meneame.net). It shows, it's really rough around the edges. We had to do quite a bit of hacking to get it to work right and there are still a few parts of the site that don't work quite right.
So my general impression is that Pligg isn't going to go very far, the code base is pretty bad. However, it works in the short term as a quick-fix to get a Digg clone up and running (if you can hack the PHP). A better long term solution is probably something like a modified installation of Drupal (www.drupal.org).
